Starring: Surya, Laila, Sneha, Ramesh Khanna, Charlie, R.Sundarrajan, Ramji, Pallavi, Thalai Vaasal Vijay, etc

Music: Sirpi

Direction: Vikraman

Story Line: Another triangular love story in Tamil cinema. Surya is the reciptionist of a lodge and falls in love with his neighbour's daughter,Laila. He helps her family so much and her parents call him 'mapplilai'.There enters Ramji, who is a Manager in a BIG company and Laila's parents reverse their promise to Surya and convince Laila to get married to Ramji.

Sneha, who is the daughter of the new Manager of the lodge, falls in love with Surya. Laila and co are back in streets after Ramji's true colours come out in due course of time. As per the Tamil cinema formula , Surya goes out of the way and helps Laila to become a doctor.When she becomes a doctor, she asks him to marry her and Surya's reply is a fitting climax to this simple movie.

Peformance Analysis: Surya fits the role perfectly and has done a reasonably good job. In many scenes, he looks exactly like Sivakumar in his early day movies.

Laila does not really have much scope and she better changes her same shocked expression for all the situations.

Sneha looks very homly and has done her part well.

The comey track played by Ramesh Khanna, Charlie, R. Sundarrajan, Chitra Lakshman is not very impressive. Ramesh Khanna's performance is worth mentioning.

Sirpy has composed a couple of songs that are good to the ears.But unfortunately, he has followed S.A Rajkumar in the rerecording especially with the background 'La la la la la la '.

Charecterisation and cast selection are good. But the screenplay is slow and boring. However, Vikraman has succeeded in giving a very decent film.

Questions to the Director:

1. Laila finishes her medical course but meanwhile her brother does not even grow an inch.Any difficiency?

2. Surya goes back to his love Laila and helps her out of the way for about 5 years. But Sneha waits for Surya all these years without even expressing her love. What kind of hope is this?

3.When are we going to stop celebrating 'undue sacrifices' of our heros and heroines.Can't we be realistic?

4. Laila's family is always at the mercy of someone and they do prosper in life. Doesn't this theme encourage people to be dependent on others?

Verdict: Vikraman has given a decent movie. But is it interesting...?
